Hope Solo - The Horrible Esthete - 09-28-2007

"It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that. ....There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. ... You have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past."

-- U.S. Women's Soccer Team goalkeeper Hope Solo

hock:

I don't think I've ever heard an athlete throw a coach and fellow teammate under the bus like this before, in any sport, at any level.

Wow.

In case you don't know the backstory here, U.S. head coach Greg Ryan benched Solo in favor of Briana Scurry vs. Brazil in World Cup play, and Brazil proceeded to score 4 goals (U.S. got shut out, which makes her comments thant much more shocking).
